Parenting Styles and the Messages They Sendwritten and told by Jim FayParenting expert and humorous storyteller, Jim Fay, helps you identify your parenting style, then shares practical, stress-free techniques for becoming a consultant parent. Enjoy being a parent again!

Funny easy read to help raise responsible, safe kids without all the power struggles.

Not sure what the other reader was talking about. I am an agnostic so I am pretty aware of that kind of thing. I was also a teacher. Not only does Love and Logic work in the classroom but it does amazing things with my kids. I have 2 toddlers and I think the Love and Logic books and videos are an indespensible resource. It seems to me that the previous reviewer was just looking for a forum to rant about something totally unrelated to these books. He also wasn't reviewing this book - I guess some people will actually mislead people to try and get their voice heard. If click on "see my other reviews" under his name you will see that he has reviewed every book in the Love and Logic series with this rhetoric that is based on complete ignorance. Charles Fay and Foster Cline (founders of Love and Logic) are from Evergreen Colorado - not Colorado Springs and have nothing to do with the whole "family first" thing. There is no affiliation whatsoever. Again, not sure what the other reviewer was talking about - but it is a shame that he may turn people away from a resource that is the most effective tool I have come across to raise children who are responsible, able to make choices effectively, have great self-esteem, and to avoid all the arguments and power struggles that come with parenting.

A must have for EVERY parent

This is a mini preview of a parenting method that is amazing. Love and Logic WORKS!! It does not matter the age of the child or behavior of the child...ADHD, to sweet angel. I have used this parenting method on my 10 month old and it works. My sister-in-law introduced me to Love & Logic before I was even a parent to start preparing. I read this book over and over again, along with the many other resources Love & Logic provides. Look up the other books and get them, it will be worth every penny...it will be priceless knowledge!!

Excellent intro to love and logic

As a social worker and mom, I recommend this to anyone willing to accept advice. This is a wonderful little intro to the whole theory. I strongly recommend getting the Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six years to help with really practical ways to apply this parenting philosophy.

Liked it.

I liked this book. It's a great start to learning a bit more about your own parenting style in which I felt like I was a bit of all three sometimes. It's nice to read this before you start the actual book series. Plus you can read it in about 15 minutes and in that couple minutes you will gain a lot of self awareness. Worth every penny and I will be passing it along for friends to read.

A Brief Synopsis of Love & Logic

I found this book to be enlightening but too brief. I would describe it as a synopsis of Jim Fay's work entitled "Love and Logic". I would use this book in this way: I would share it with someone I am trying to introduce the book "Love & Logic" to. It would be my hope that this would introduce the concepts that they would read about and peak their interest in the book "Love & Logic".

I would not recommend that this book be used in place of "Love & Logic" as it only introduces (or summarizes) the approach taken in "Love & Logic".

I was looking for an additional resource in this book but found it to be merely a summary introduction of "Love & Logic". I will still find it useful but only in using it as a way of getting "Love & Logic" into the hands of readers who I feel would benefit to a greater degree from that book.
